We had a family of 5 adults and an infant and a toddler. Travelled 22-26 October 2018.
Location wise it’s very close to the BTS station. We used it for going to Chitlom for pratunam and platinum mall. We had most of our meals near the condo.
The condo project is fairly old, but the unit was clean and all aircon functioned well. It was rainy when we were there but still used the aircon every night. Water heater was not a problem at all. The master room is really huge, the other two rooms are smaller. If you need a dark room then I will suggest to avoid the smallest room.
I stayed in the 200 sqm plus 3 bedroom apt. Huge dining and living area, and balcony. The bathrooms both have bathtubs but no stopper so you won’t be able to have a bath. However, we asked for a baby bathtub and it was provided promptly on our day of arrival. As we had an infant Too, a nice wooden crib was provided with mattress, pillow, comforter and linen. A toddler feeding chair and utensils were also so thoughtfully provided.
We used the washer and dryer rather frequently. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided together with eating and cooking utensils. Do bring or buy your own condiments and oil if you intend to cook.
It’s secure where only residents and known persons will be allowed to use the lift, you need the Guards to tap the lift otherwise you cannot access the floors. My 2 year old enjoyed the pool, with me of course as it is 1.2 - 2.55m deep. She also had fun at the playground, which was empty and had an indoor and outdoor area. There is a nursery/kindergarten in the building, which is really convenient.
Had some problems with the cab drivers. They kept bringing us to the wrong place until we mentioned trinity mall 3. When you say holiday inn express silom, they will bring you to the wrong place. I even showed them the Thai address provided and still had problems.
Food/amenities
Morning market with a lot of street food options. Villa market is the Supermarket which is just 3 mins away. There is a foodcourt which serves cheap and good food, pad Thai for 50-75baht. A lot of good restaurants within walking distance, like Lek seafood, felang, Larp etc. At night you will also find street vendors selling yummy food. There is a vendor selling fried chicken just opp the hospital nearby, 4 chicken drumsticks for 50 baht and really yummy.
More high end places like Eat Me also within walking distance. We didn’t try out the place, wanted cheap and good local Thai food.
Pharmacy is within trinity mall 3. Hospital within walking distance. A seven eleven further away.
Supermarket
We did our supermarket shopping at central big C, were told that there is a Tesco nearby which is 3 stops away or a short taxi ride. We didn’t make it there. But you should really consider making a trip there.
Overall, everyone was pleased with the stay. I would stay again.
